MCQ
The $C - H$ bond length is minimum in the bond formed by
  • $sp - s$ overlapping (as in alkynes)
  • B
    $s{p^2} - s$ overlapping (as in alkenes)
  • C
    $s{p^3} - s$ overlapping (as in alkanes)
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: A.
$sp - s$ overlapping (as in alkynes)
a
Here the answer is option $A \,sp - s$ overlapping(as in alkynes)

Bond length decreases with the increase in $s$ character since an $s$-orbital is smaller than a $p$ - orbital.

Compound Hybridization $C$ - $H$ bond length $\mathring A)$
Alkane $sp ^3$ $1.093$
Alkene $sp ^2$ $1.087$
Alkyne $s p$ $1.057$
